Roofing questions, answered

It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how many layers come off, and the package you choose. For a ballpark on your own house, try RoofRead: it measures your roof from above and prices both packages in about 30 seconds.

30% when you sign, and the rest after the final walkthrough, once you’ve seen the finished roof. Special-order materials can need up to 50% up front, and your estimate will say so. You can pay by card or bank transfer, or finance it.
